Bring back the 250 cubic inch inline six!

Mine was okay (Chevelle). I prefer the 3.8l for reliability and the 350ci for EVERYTHING! My present 3.4l (2004 Venture) is doing fine with 220,000 on the odometer. The 3.1 and quad-4 engines both blew head gaskets prematurely.

For Fords, I love the 4.0 liter for reliability and adequate power. My 4.6l (1989 Grand Marquis) caught fire. My '72 Torino engine threw a rod (bad oil pump), but I do not know if it was a 302 or one of the 351s.

Chrysler? 225ci Slant-six or 363 Big Block V-8. The 318 wanted premium fuel and underperformed.
